he died in the disaster along with more than 1,500 others in 1912. the violin's current owner is interested in selling the instrument and he says the offers for it are pouring in. i don't know if i'd sell it though. >> as i could imagine people want to own a part of history. in california you got to see this as well a sea lion takes over a chi yok. the stubborn guy doesn't know how to take no for an answer. the owner was shocked when he found the. on board and refused to leave even nudging the little guy off and popping back on, apparently looking for a safe place to rest. they say every long journey begins with a single step. >> gaff vin stephens was diagnosed with an extremely rare retina disorder in 2009, at just 6 months old, left him blind and there's no cure but he's conquering life's challenges one by one. look at the inspiring moment

5:03 am
will the missiles actually work? if a nuclear missile is ever fired at the united states, this is the best hope to stop it, 30 interceptor missiles which can be launched from ground sigh lows in alaska and california. now the pentagon is deploying up to 14 more. >> the reason we're doing what we're doing and the reason we're advancing our program here for homeland security is to not take any chances, is to stay ahead of the theret. >> reporter: north korea tested a long range missile in december, it conducted its third nuclear test in february, and just this month, threatened a preemptive nuclear strike on the u.s. that caught the pentagon's attention. >> north korea's shrill public pronouncements underscore the need for the u.s. to continue to take prudent steps to defeat any north korean icbm. >> reporter: president obama said the u.s. would --
5:04 am
>> strengthen our own missile defense and lead the world in taking firm action in response to these threats. >> reporter: but republican congressional sources say the president's actions have been anything but firm. in 2011 the administration balked on an alaskan missile field arguing intelligence didn't snow enough threat, sources saying "the intel didn't change, this is right where we expected north korea to be," and that is no possession of a missile that could travel nearly 5,000 miles in theory, since north korea has never successfully launched a long range icbm. >> i think what you see here is a political signal to north korea that one is going to be intimidated by their december launch and subsequent nuclear test. >> reporter: the interceptors haven't plmpld as planned. the pentagon is testing a new missile and won't buy the additional 14 until they're sure
5:05 am
they can fly. >> we spend $10 billion on missile year, $250 billion over the last few decades and we're not close to a system that could protect the united states from the determined adversary. yes, i'm saying we're wasting our money. >> reporter: the pentagon expects to have the 14 new missiles ready to go by the year 2017 and officials are scouting locations for a potential third launch site on the east coast of the united states. joe, susan? >> chris lawrence, thanks for that. >> lawyers will be back in the steubenville court, in the case of two high school football players raping a 16-year-old girl. >> poppy harlow is following the case life in steubenville, ohio. poppy, what do we expect to happen today in court? >> reporter: today could be a big day in court. we are still to hear from the alleged victim or either of the defendants so there's a chance
5:06 am
they could take the stand. we have been told by attorneys they will call the alleged victim, a decision hasn't been made whether or not the two defendants will take the stand. we're talking about the case of a 16-year-old girl allegedly raped back in august by two star high school football players trent mays, and malik richmond. yesterday, guys, i was in court for more than 1 hours. it was explosive in terms of the testimony. the first day the prosecution has brought eyewitnesses to these alleged rape to the stand, three teenaged boys, all three of them friends of the two co-defendants, one of them testifying that he saw trent mays, one of the defendants, in a car engaged in sexual activity with this girl, activity that would be considered rape in ohio, if it is not consensual. after that car ride they went to a home late at night in the basement, two eyewitnesses testified seeing this girl laying naked on the basement floor and seeing the other defendant, malik richmond,
5:07 am
engaged in similar sexual activity with her, and if she was not participating, that would be considered rape. one of those witnesses asked, was this girl responsive? said, "she wasn't moving, she wasn't talking, she wasn't participating." that's really the clutch here, how much did she have to drink and was she involved in this willingly or not, guys. >> so what's the defense trying to show at this stage, poppy? >> reporter: well, it's a good question when you have these three eyewitnesses that are friends of the co-defendants. the defense has not had them say, i didn't see this actually. that's not the strategy and cross-examination. there have been a few things. first of all every witness they've asked how do you know how drunk this girl really was? were you with her all night? how can you prove that? another thing they've gotten witnesses to say multiple times this girl did want to leave with the two boys from one party and
5:08 am
go to the next, she wanted to be with them and said that very clearly. also they've talked about this now infamous photo surrounding this case of the girl seepingly unconscious being held by trent mays and malik richmond. the defense says that was in jest, that that was a joke, that she wasn't unconscious and some witnesses have said yes, that was a joke. so there's a lot of strategies here that the defense is going after and they're yet to present their case, guys. >> there's recordings, pictures, poppy, text messages as well. how important are the text messages in this case. >> reporter: i think they're very important. the state brought a witness to the stand for hours this week, joanne gibbs, a computer forensic scientist for the state, went through 17 cell phones involved in this investigation, pulled thousands of text messages, read hundreds of them in court, a lot of them were between the defendant, trent mays and his friends about that night and some even between trent mays and the alleged victim about that night, the victim texted, alleged victim
5:09 am
texted one of her friends saying "i think i was drugged. i don't know what happened after i left," meaning left one of the parties. trent mays also joked around about what he did with the girl that night, telling some people we engaged in sex with her, telling others that he hadn't, so there are a lot of questions and these text messages were pretty damning for the defense. >> we shall see what happens today, poppy harlow live in ohio thanks so much. coming up in 40 minutes our legal contributor paul callan weighs in on whether the trial should have been tried in front of a jury because right now it's in front of a judge. >> poppy harlow working this weekend for us bringing the story. a patient waiting for an organ transplant learns a donor has been found, supposed to be amazing news. >> usually is but that dream come true has become a nightmare for the people who received the organs from one man in florida. senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen has the frightening story.
5:10 am
>> reporter: susan, joe, this is a bizarre and tragic story, two lives taken, three lives in jeopardy. organ transplants, usually a life-saving operation, but in this case a deadly one. in 2011 a man in florida died and his kidneys, liver and heart were donated to four patients. in florida, georgia, illinois, and maryland. no one knew he had rabies. the maryland patient who received the kidney died last month, tests confirming the victim contracted rabies from the donor. the three other patients who currently show no signs of rabies are under treatment to make sure they don't die, too. this happened before in 2004, four people, including 18-year-old joshua hightower, died after receiving organs and tissues from a donor who also had rabies. >> like some foreign branch of
5:11 am
rabies, something uncommon or rare or the kind that you vaccinate your dog every year for? and he said jennifer, the kind you vaccinate your dog every year for. >> reporter: in that case a bat had been in the donor and the virus spread through the bloodstream, all the recipients died. in this recent case there were red flags, doctors knew the donor had encephalitis or swelling of the brain and behavior changes. doctors tested for other causes of encephalitis but not for rabies. >> there's thousands and thousands of potential pathogens that organ donors could be infected with. the screening test for rabies are not universally available. >> reporter: only labs in georgia, new york and california are able to test for the disease in humans. doctor at the cdc told cnn perhaps there needs to be a change in policy so when someone has encephalitis they are tested for rabies before organs can be
5:12 am
donated so a life saving operation doesn't kill someone once again. in a sad coincidence, it turns out that both the donor and the recipient were military men. the donor was training to be an aviation mechanic in pensacola, florida, and he was 20 years old, the recipient was a veteran of the army. joe, susan? >> senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen, thanks for that. lawmakers in north dakota passed what could be some of the strictest abortion bills in the nation, if they are signed into law. one bill bans abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected which is normally about six weeks. the only exception is life of the mother, no exception for rape or incest. another controversial bill bans abortion on the basis of gender or genetic defect. >> is it right to destroy life because of the perception that a person may not meet someone else's standards as being acceptable to live? >> i cannot think of anything
5:13 am
more cruel than for the state to require that first pregnancy to be carried to term and watch my grandchild die on the delivery table. >> the aclu is call on the governor to veto that bill. pope francis told reporters gathered at the vatican this morning he wants the catholic church to be poor. the new pope spoke to the media for the first time since his election wednesday and explained why he picked the named francis saying it reflects a concern for the poor. he says the name keeps the spirit of st. francis of assisi alive, calling him "a poor man, a simple man, as we would like a poor church for the poor." politics now today is the last day of the cpac, sarah palin is one of the scheduled speakers today and there will be a straw poll as conservatives pick their new flag bearer. mitt romney won the poll four of the last six years. he spoke yesterday about how the
5:14 am
party needs to move forward. >> we've lost races before and the past but the setbacks prepared us for larger victories. it's up to us to make sure that we learn from our mistakes and my mistakes and that we take advantage of that learning to make sure that we take back the nation, take back the white house, get the senate and put in place conservative principles. >> mitt romney was well received by the crowd, though it was just a day earlier that senators rand paul and marco rubio basically blamed him for the election law and there's xlecomedian maher w had this to say about romney's cpac speech. >> guess who spoke for the first time mitt romney, and he has not lost any of the warmth and charm that we have come to know. he still sounds like the flight attendant who tells you, you can't use the bathroom in first class.
5:15 am
>> that's an analogy. we have much more ahead this hour. here's a look at what's coming up. >> the shocking testimony from the steubenville trial is making lawyers wonder, will social media now be rape victim's greatest advocate or worst enemy? senator rob portman's revelation this week that he supports same-sex marriage has sent shock waves through the gop. so what do cpac's leaders think? congressman steve king joins us live. jodi arias is finally off the stand, but will her 62 seconds of fog end up costing her her life.

5:19 am
18 days, that is how long murder defendant jodi arias testified on the stand in her own defense over a crime that lasted just 62 seconds. how did she do as a witness and did she save her own life by testifying? earlier i asked hln's jane velez-mitchell. >> a lot of people said look, she had to take the stand because first she lied, said she wasn't there, then she said two ninjas did it, then she said i did it but it was self-defense. there's no corroboration for self-defense except her telling it. she was so elaborate with her, i think we've all concluded lies that she may have created so many inconsistencies it was an opportunity for the pros cuter to show beyond a reasonable doubt she's a liar. >> the prosecutor ron martinez has gone after her full force on the stand. >> man, were you crying when you were shooting him? >> i don't remember. >> were you crying when you were stabbing him?
5:20 am
>> i don't remember. >> how about when you cut his throat, were you crying then? >> i don't know. >> do you think at all that his style may be turning off the jury? >> well, it's very, very aggressive but i have to say when you're dealing with a pathological liar and i believe she is a pathological liar, you have to be aggressive because you can't nail them down. she's constantly using phrases like "i guess" asking him to define his terms. well if you say so, it's possible, so she's slides out of everything he tries to pin her on so it is frustrating. but as far as aggressive, you've got to really hone in on a pathological liar and rattle them to shake them off their story. that's how i think he got her to say oh, there was a hollister which was totally baaed news for her because now she has to take the gun out of a hollister and she says well maybe the hollister wasn't there, it showed the inconsistencies in her story more. i think he is a little over the top but he's got to do
5:21 am
something. >> i think we really got a look into what the jury may be thinking and feeling with their questions, do you think that rattled jodi arias some? >> i think it had to. she'd be back in her cell rocking in the fetal position over where she has the impression echoing in her mind why should we believe you now when you've lied so many times before. how can you remember intimate detail of sexual encounters but can't remember stabbing someone 21 times, they were almost rhetorical and certainly gave us an insight into the soul. these jurors are not buying her act. >> i remember a couple of them being snide, they don't seem to like her at all. the next thing is experts, do you think they'll save jodi's life? >> clearly the experts did not believe the fog. they'll bring the psychologist who will argue ferociously that
5:22 am
yes, this fog does exist, and we've heard battles about this already that he's saying well look, police officers even go into this fog when they shoot somebody and they're trained to shoot somebody. so if he can prove that this so-called fog which the prosecutor was so sarcastic about, which the jurors were so sarcastic about, is real, then maybe, maybe that's the only chance for jodi arias not to get the needle. >> and stay up to speed on the jodi arias trial with jane velez-mitchell. you can catch her on hln weeknights, 7:00 eastern. coming up we'll have more on the steubenville trial and on those damaging cell phones and texts. plus has the miami heat cooled off? an update on their red hot streak. and be good for your face?

in the nba, the streak continues. lebron james and the miami heat rolled over the miami bucks 107-94 last night with their 21st straight win. james and chris bosh scored 28 points. the lakers won 33 straight back in 1971. and speaking of march madness kicks off tomorrow with selection sunday, that is when the country's top teams are selected and seeded for the annual basketball tournament but it can be hard to keep track of it all. cnn's matt weiner breaks it all down. >> march madness is a nickname for the ncaa men's division one basketball tournament. it's also a description of a
5:27 am
phenomenon which happens every march which is why people are interested in the first place because it really is sort of insanity in the world of college basketball. there are well over 300 division one basketball programs within the ncaa. there are 6 teams that get in each year, 31 by what is called automatic qualification or automatic qualifiers by virtue of winning their conference in the regular season or through a conference tournament. the other 37 are so-called at-large bids, it's a little more tricky in terms of who gets in and who doesn't. there's a selection committee that looks over the resumes of each and every one of the teams available to play in the ncaa tournament and deems 37 of them worthy of the tournament. the bracket itself for most people is the physical piece of paper you hold in your office pool when you try to determine who the winners are, of the tournament. as you look at a bracket you see
5:28 am
32 teams on either side of it, which then whittle themselves down to 32 teams, then 16, then 8, et cetera, all the way to a final four and of course the final two teams who play for the national championship. people tune in to watch march madness first and foremost i think because it's a compelling sporting event, and there's a lot of drama inherent to those games but it would be naive to suggest that gambling doesn't play a significant role in the popularity of the sport. the estimates i've seen are that there is something like $2.5 billion wagered each year on the ncaa tournament and most of that is illegal betting. it's tolerated largely because it's in the form of low stakes office pools. there are a million methods, you could pore over all the data, look into trends and matchups between coaches, players,
5:29 am
schools, conferences, you can employ which mascot would win in a fight method. i thought if notre dame is in the tournament i'm hesitant to pick against them on st. patrick's day. does that matter? i don't know. my advice, don't think too much about it, go with your gut and have fun. >> and for all you college basketball fans as ncaa march madness kicks off this weekend test your bracket skills against cnn anchors, go to cnn.com/brackets and see if you can pick the brackets better than our cnn anchors. stay with us. an e.p.a.-estimatd 34 mpg highway. amazing. see the grille? mm-hmm. let me show you how it works. it opens and closes like this to help you conserve fuel. oh. is that an s.o.s. signal? no, that's the aero grille shutters demonstration. we do it all the time.

bottom of the hour, welcome back everyone. i'm susan hendricks in for randi kaye. thank you for starting your morning with us. here are the five stories we're watching for you. number one the pentagon is expanding the missile defense network on the west coast in response to threats from north korea. defense secretary chuck hagel says they could spend as much as $1 billion on the expansion. reports say north korea test fired two short range missiles this morning. number two in sioux falls, south dakota, two people are dead after trying to rescue a 6-year-old boy from a waterfall. the boy fell into the big sioux river yesterday, his 16-year-old sister and 28-year-old man jumped in after him. the boy did survive. crews found his sister's body, they are now looking for the man's body. number three, it certainly was a rough week for carnival cruise lines as three different ships face technical problems,
5:34 am
"the legend" is having some problems with speed, passengers on "the dream" flew back to the u.s. from st. marten on friday after power outages caused some toilets to overflow and "the elation" had to be towed by a tugboat because of steering problems. hendrix, the springer spaniel is happy to be with his family after an airline cargo mixup sent him to ireland instead of phoenix, arizona. united airlines acted quickly when it realized the mistake, getting the dog back to the u.s. and on the right flight. his owners say she is not putting him on a plane any time soon. maryland is preparing to ban the death penalty. yesterday democratic governor martin o'malley said he will sign the bill into law after it passes the state legislature. he said the death penalty does not deter criminals and is more expensive than life in prison. maryland has only executed five people since 1976.
5:35 am
one prosecutor is promising to challenge that new law. the heavyweights of the republican party are gathered for the cannual cpac conference. today is the last day. last night jeb bush took the stage to talk about the road forward for the gop. he said the party can't write off whole segments of the population and need to be a party of inclusion. republicans are wrongly considered anti-gay and anti-immigration. iowa congressman steve king joins me now, you're speaking in cpac in about 30 minutes. some of bush's remarks seemed to be aimed squarely as republicans such as yourself, you're against a path to citizenship, against same-sex marriage, you equated it to socialism and said it was an attack on sacrament of the church. is there still room for staunch conservatives like you in the republican party, congressman? >> i smile when i hear that, still room for staunch
5:36 am
conservatives, that's what the core of the republican party is. yes, there's a struggle going on within the party between some people that want to redefine or rebrand the republican party and those of us who stand on our first principles and our core principles but in the end we're not going to be a party if we abandon our principles and one of the wise members of congress said after november 6th just because the american people did something such as they did, electing barack obama on november 6th, is no reason for republicans to abandon our principles. >> as you know, ohio senator rob portman really made headlines by coming out in support of same-sex marriage, he was influenced by his gay son. what is your reaction to his change of heart? >> well this is a very personal decision on the part of senator portman and he is a friend and i have great respect for him and his family. this is no reason for us to either abandon or change our principles, however it might fall on rob portman personally but what's important here is
5:37 am
that marriage has been marriage for a couple thousand years or more and we know that the very best way that we can pass our values on to the next generation is people joining together, a man and a woman in holy matrimony and blessed with children and passing our values down through that marriage into those children, that's why the states offer a marriage license and a license is by definition a permit to do that which is otherwise illegal, license to drive, license to do brain surgery or cut hair, for example, and you need to meet those qualifications in order to get the license. the marriage license is an affirmative thing that promotes traditional marriage but that doesn't mean we can't be inclusive of people who have a different set of beliefs or a different set of inclinations. >> let's talk about immigration. you've offered some very strong thoughts on the subject including a metaphor about dogs. listen. >> you want one that's going to be aggressive pick the one that
5:38 am
is the friskiest and that's the one sleeping in the corner. if you want one to sleep on the couch pick the one sleeping in the corner so you get the pick of the litter and you've got yourself a pretty good birddog. we got the pick of every civilization on the planet because it's hard to get here, you had to be inspired to come, we got them to come to america. >> some republicans are suggesting moving to a reform towards a path to citizenship. are you changing your position at all or are you in the same place? >> you know, i have been misquoted and mischaracterized on that. i couldn't hear the audio at all, but i'm going to guess that was an edited version, and here's what i said, that entire tli delivery that day in pocahontas, iowa, it was about america exceptionalism, the vigor of legal immigrants. there have been people on the left who mischaracterized that
5:39 am
substantially, misquoted me and lied about my record. i am an enthusiastic supporter of legal immigration. we get an american vigor that comes from them. we get the cream of the crop from every donor civilization on the planet and that's one of the reasons for american exceptionalism and i hope people on the left can understand that as well. >> it is our understanding what we played was an unedited version of your remarks. moving on the question i've been wanting to get to for some run, are you going to run for tom harkin's iowa senate seat? >> first thing,' not his seat, it's iowa's seat and i will make that decision but i'm looking at it seriously and as i've said over the last week or so, we're going out to do some polling. we will build a campaign on paper, take a look at that and make a decision, yes or no and i don't have a timing set on that but it won't be in a few days, it will be longer than that and i do thank the people across the state that have demonstrated their support, the people here
5:40 am
in cpac that demonstrated their support in a strong way. i'm going to go out of this place like a rocket. this is a dynamic place for conservatives to gather together. there's no better place to be in america right now. >> not too long ago you came out harshly in opposition to three members of the state supreme court there who in a ruling essentially supported gay marriage, if i'm correct. now the supreme court of the united states is preparing to hear cases relateded to gay marriage. would you suggest that members of the united states supreme court step down if they supported gay marriage, like you did with the iowa supreme court members? >> well, we have a different constitutional structure for the iowa supreme court justices. they made a very, very flawed, unconstitutional decision and they were up for a retention ballot and iowans put their vote on the ballot and voted three off the bench including the
5:41 am
supreme court chief justice of the iowa supreme court. of course our supreme court justices here are appointed for life, if they choose to stay there and that's a different equation entirely so no, i will make my arguments as i have, i'll put up my vote when i have the privilege and honor to do so. if it's the will of the people to change the definition of marriage, then that would be the proper way, but i don't believe that constitutionally for the court to look at our founding documents and come to a conclusion that our founding fathers intended for same-sex marriage so i think it needs to be and must be if a question is going to be settled in america on the marriage issue it needs to be settled by the people electing their representatives in this institutional republic and those votes need to make the difference. congress established the defense of marriage act, that is the law of the land, the will of the people until the will of the people is reflected through congress and that would be my message, i'd ask the judges to consider that as they hear the case. >> speaking of the supreme court as you know quite recently the
5:42 am
court actually heard a case on the voting rights act and justice scalia was reported in a lot of different places, said that he thought the voting rights act was essentially if i'm quoting him correctly "a racial entitlement." what do you think of that? do you agree with that? >> i didn't read all of justice scalia's statement on that but i did hear that part, and i was engaged in the debate on the reauthorization of the voting rights act, i believe it was 2005 when that last happened. section five is covered districts, these are the districts that were defined as having a racist influence on the election access to people back then when the voting rights act was first passed. now it says that the granddaughter of someone who lived there at that time is, by definition, a racist and they can't make their own decision and the justice department should repeal that.
5:43 am
i think they should take care of any discrimination we have that keeps people from going to the voting booth. the justice department blocked the black panthers when they already had a conviction if their hands. there are two sides to the coin. we have to put that away sometime and we just cannot continue to label every future generation a racist and that's what a lot of section five does in the voting rights act. >> do you think the voting rights act is a racial entitlement? >> i didn't look into that definition part and i don't know i'd define it that way. here are something republicans and democrats both get wrong and that is through redistricting drawing congressional districts that are either strong, democrat district, strong republican districts and often they are african-american districts and that trade-off i think has polarized politics in america. if every state did it like iowa
5:44 am
does without regard to those kind of things and redistrict according to the best balance of population then we would be a better congress, we would resolve those differences in the congressional district level rather than have to do so in a polarized way in congress. >> congressman steve king always great to have you on, good to see you and please let us know if you'll run for the senate seat. >> we'll make a decision in the future. thanks for having me on this morning. >> thank you. a small town in ohio is divided by a trial involving three teenagers, two popular football players accused of rape and one girl who claims to be the victim. we'll ask our legal expert what he thinks, next. hello.

lawyers are back in an ohio courtroom for the trial of two teenagers charged with raping a 61-year-old girl. the trial is going on in steubenville, the accused 17-year-old trent mays and 16-year-old malik richmond, the teens are football stars in the small mostly blue collar town that reveres the high school team. i bring in cnn's legal contributor paul callan. thanks for being here this morning. >> good morning. >> the witnesses say the alleged victim in this case was very
5:48 am
drunk the night of the party. is that something that's really going to play a role in this trial as you see it in. >> it plays an important role because the whole trial really now as it gets into its closing day is focused on the impairment of the alleged victim caused by alcohol use. was the girl drunk? was she conscious? was she able to consent to sexual activity? these are the things the skrunlg is looking at. the boys, the attorney for the boys are saying hey, she was drunk, everybody had been drinking but she was capable of consenting to the sexual activity. prosecutors are saying her degree of alcohol impairment rendered her unable and having an inability to consent. that's what it's all about. >> the question also is at the center of the trial, texts, pictures, video recordings among other things, by the way we're looking at a live picture right now from inside the courtroom. there's one picture i also want to show which is allegedly mays
5:49 am
and richmond carrying the passed out girl. richmond says the girl was awake and willing to participate and video clips like that one. let's look at it. >> so ability to consent here is a big question and there's a certain point you're so drunk, you're so impaired you don't have the ability to consent. is that the bottom line? >> yes, that's the bottom line. let's bring this down to a simple fact, you know, a lot of juvenile boys, a lot of adolescent boys think let's get a girl drunk and have sex with her. it's a crime. it's rape, and if the girl can't consent at the time of the sexual contact it's potentially rape and that's the law, and you know, it wasn't enforced, it's
5:50 am
never really been enforced in the past because in the past we didn't have cameras and text messaging and cell phones that could record this kind of criminal activity, and now kids are making recordings all over the country, and you're going to see a lot more cases like this being brought. >> you look at those pictures and you listen to the recording. how much trouble is that for a defendant in the courtroom? >> it's very serious trouble because usually these cases consist of people after the fact trying to recreate what happened. here you have at least one important thing already on film and that film of her being carried because she's clearly unconscious really is very suggestive that you know something, even if she woke up, it was obvious that she was so drunk she couldn't consent to anything, so that's a very, very devastating piece of evidence that's available to the prosecutor for use against the defendants in this case. >> it certainly is, and people in future public trials like
5:51 am
this are probably going to be looking along social media lines to see if they can dig up some evidence. paul callan, thank you so much, good to see you. >> good to see you. ever been annoyed to overhear someone chatting on their cell phone? a new study reveals why those calls can be so annoying. coming up, we're going to have that story. ♪ if loving you is wrong ♪ i don't wanna be right

5:55 am
it seems like anyone can get information out there. it's pretty easy these days to do that. >> it seems like it is and they're targeting the who's who list. is aspire to be on the list so i can be a celebrity like them. this week president obama's national security advisers saying the biggest threat facing america is no longer al qaeda, it's cyber hacks into government. we're going to have computer wars, drone wars and it's something we have to defend the country and ourselves personally against. >> if you're listening out there, dean wants to be hacked. >> wait a minute, i don't want to be hacked. you know what i'm saying. >> kendra, do you think celebrities and politicians are targets? >> also regular people are targeted as well. my facebook page was hacked twice. i thought about the pictures and b i've sent people my phone number and mailing adress, it's an invasion of privacy.
5:56 am
>> how did you find out it was hacked? >> i tried to login and my picture was changed. i'm like this isn't me. i'm like someone's changed my identity. and it was absolutely horrible so i can only imagine how it feels to have your bank statement hacked or your social security hacked. facebook for me was horrible so i can't imagine going to the next step. >> i can't believe it goes on as much as it does. >> this next topic about women, we're all guilty of getting up on the wrong side of the bed, everyone but women may have the better excuse if they're feeling grumpy. women need more sleep than men, i knew this, and say our health is more directly associated with catching zs than it is for guys. dean, what's your experience on this one? do you think women are more grouchy in the morning? watch what you say. >> they had to pay for a study for this one? i've lived with a woman for years. i'm kidding, i don't want my

[ male announcer ] today, men with low t have androgel 1.62% (testosterone gel). the #1 prescribed topical testosterone replacement therapy, increases testosterone when used daily. women and children should avoid contact with application sites. discontinue androgel and call your doctor if you see unexpected signs of early puberty in a child, or signs in a woman, which may include changes in body hair or a large increase in acne, possibly due to accidental exposure. men with breast cancer or who have or might have prostate cancer, and women who are or may become pregnant or are breastfeeding, should not use androgel.
6:00 am
serious side effects include worsening of an enlarged prostate, possible increased risk of prostate cancer, lower sperm count, swelling of ankles, feet, or body, enlarged or painful breasts, problems breathing during sleep, and blood clots in the legs. tell your doctor about your medical conditions and medications, especially insulin, corticosteroids, or medicines to decrease blood clotting. so...what do men do when a number's too low? turn it up!

good morning, i'm joe johns in for victor blackwell. >> and i'm susan hendricks in for randi kaye. it's 9:00 on the east coast, 6:00 a.m. out west. thank you for starting your morning with us. we start out with a little politics, conservatives at their annual gathering are setting the tone for next year, called cpac, the conservative political action conference. >> they've welcomed the likes of romney and rubio and bush and trump. today there's another big name on tap, cnn political editor
6:03 am
paul steinhauser, who is the headliner today? >> reporter: the big headliner coming up in a few hours, joe, is sarah palin, i think you remember her of course, the 2008 vice presidential nominee on the republican side, the former alaska governor. joe, she did not have a lot of impact last year in 2012 but she's still a rock star among a lot of people on the right at cpac, the conservative political action conference, largest annual gathering of conservative leaders across the country. lot of people will be interested to hear what she has to say. couple of the big speakers, scott walker, the governor of wisconsin has become a recent rock star on the right as well as ben carson, the neurosurgeon from baltimore who has become popular in the last couple of weeks, not a politician but he's on the straw poll ballot. we get the results of the straw poll ballot later today. cpac is the first real cattle call in the race for the white house in 2016 so we'll dissect those numbers when we get them.
6:04 am
23 people on that straw poll ballot, joe. >> just to be clear the reason why you're almost whisper something because there's somebody right behind you and apparently giving a speech. i've been to this conference before, every time there is some type of a theme. what's the theme that's running through this year's conference? >> you could say which way does the republican party go? they're coming a few months from losing the presidential election for a second straight time. conservative activists are trying to figure out which way does the party go, moderate, reach out to independents or stay true to its conservative roots which a lot of people here want. yesterday mitt romney who lost last november's presidential election came here and touted a lot of governors from the blue and purple states and said those will be the future leaders of this party and mentioned two people, chris christie from new jersey and bob mcdonnell from virginia, neither of whom were invited. another big speaker jeb bush, former governor of florida he
6:05 am
talked about the future of the party, listen. >> we must move beyond the divisive and ex-train yaus issues that currently define the public debate. never again can the republican party simply write off entire segments of our society because we assume our principles have limited appeal. they have broad appeal. all of our successes at the state level and all of the work being done in the private sector that's incredible can be undone if we continue to lose pattial elections. we'll forfeit our ability to chart a better future for our republic. this would be tragic in every sense of the word. >> jeb bush is also think being running for president possibly in 2016 but his name is not on the straw poll ballot. why? he said 2016 is too far away, too early for my name to be on a ballot. proceedings under way, jenny beth martin from the tea party patriots speaking behind me.
6:06 am
it will be an interesting day, this is part conference and part carnival, joe? >> absolutely and i think we really have to wait and see just what happens with that straw poll. it's always interesting at cpac, never too early to start wondering who is going to be up next. >> jeb bush could throw his name in, not in the straw poll though. a programming reminder to watch chief washington correspondent jake tapper's new show "the lead" starting at 4:00 p.m. eastern monday on cnn. the pentagon is taking threats from north korea very seriously to the tune of a $1 billion expansion of the missile defense system on the west coast. >> defense secretary chuck hagel says it's necessary for national security. tom foreman has more on the threat and how the defense system is supposed to work. >> the sent gone is acknowledging that north korea is becoming more of a global threat because of the speed at which it is developing its missile program and nuclear weapon program so how does the military want to respond to that? at the front line, by going to
6:07 am
the pacific ocean where the fear is that north korea on its best day might be able to launch a missile that would go all the way out and hit some parts of the united states. what are they going to do about that? first of all they want more radar support, they want a new base in japan to be tracking on early what's happening, they want to beef up missiles in alaska and california and of course they want steady monitoring from ships at sea, from airplanes overhead and from satellites, all watching to see if north korea is going to launch at some point our way. how would that work? well if north korea launches a missile all the early warning systems would send the coordinates of the flight back to the response missiles which would fire and go up and try to hit it and take it out. ideally they would like to hit it early on or in the middle and last resort way over here but what they want is numerous shots added so they can stop it. that's really the goal and they have to have numerous shots because this is fairly new technology and it's not all
6:08 am
entirely reliable. we don't know that the north koreans at this point can get a missile to go this far but our ability to intercept it and stop it is also a tricky, tricky thing to pull off. look at the things we would use for this, two-stage missile, this is what we would launch out of alaska or california and it would release an exoatmospheric kill vehicle. it's made by raytheon, infrared guidance system in the nose and that when it gets released locks in on the nuclear warhead in this missile, and it will guide this in to actually smash into that, at about 17,000 miles an hour and tear it apart. it does not explode, this is about as big as a refrigerator t just smashes into it and tears it apart. you can imagine how difficult that is to pull off but this is the technology that we're trying to perfect so that we can stop the north korean technology if and when they ever get it perfected and actually can
6:09 am
threaten the u.s. mainland. >> certainly an amazing visual. >> like threading a needle from thousands of miles away. that's amazing. >> tom foreman our thanks to you. to new orleans where yet another day of searching is taking place, still hasn't turned up any sign of teri lynn mennette. monette. >> a houston search firm plans to have more sophisticated sonar on hand to use by monday to survey area waterways. nick valencia is in waterlands and what are police saying about efforts to find terrilyn? >> police tell us they have no new leads in their investigation as joe johns mentioned here today marks exactly two weeks since terrilyn monette was last seen. she was last seen leaving a bar in new orleans 4:00 a.m.
6:10 am
investigators are focusing their search in a nearby park, this may have been a likely path she used on her way home. throughout the week investigator also continue to search in the bayou st. john area and as susan mentioned they're expected to bring in more high powered higher resolution sonar equipment, tim miller, the founding director of equusearch came out earl this week to help with the investigation and the search, they expect to bring in the high powered sonar device so they can cover more area at a faster rate. i talked to tim miller earlier this week and he could identify a coke can at about 1,000 feet. the bayous are about six feet deep at its deepest part and they've been combing the waterways but unfortunately haven't found any sign of terrilyn or her car. >> tim miller wants to do what he can. terrilyn's poor mom is devastated. there have been other discoveries in recent days in the bayous and canals around new orleans, what are those? >> there has been.
6:11 am
equusearch spotted eight cars but have likely been there since hurricane katrina, they have no i.d. on exactly if these cars, they're not related at all to terrilyn monette's vehicle. yesterday a body washed ashore on the industrial canal, it's completely unrelated with the terrilyn monette investigation. we're waiting to hear more details but so far, no new leads in this investigation and this family is desperately clinging to hope, they have no answers right now. >> nick valencia, thanks for that report. lawmakers in north dakota passed what could be some of the strictest abortion laws in the nation if they are signed into law. one bill bans abortions after a heartbeat is detected, the onl exception if the pregnancy endangers the mother's life, no

6:16 am
for viewing quality. one of the cool features is that you can scroll through pictures using nothing but your hand. you wave your fingers over the sensors above the phone and scroll through pictures. another thing is the tilting picture you can tilt to scroll up and down but what is getting people hyped is the camera feature. you can delete people from a photograph you don't want in your photograph. if i take a picture of something and i have another person in the picture walking past, a stranger at an event or something i don't want in the picture i can slick on that person and deheat them from the photograph. also the phone has rear cameras and front facing cameras that can be used at the same time so i can take a photograph of something and have myself be in the photograph as well, pretty cool stuff. certainly we anticipate this is a huge threat to apple. we don't know how much this device will cost. we're hearing it will be roughly
6:17 am
in the same ball park as the samsung galaxy s3, roughly around $200. we don't tea know for sure but we will keep you posted. back to you. >> looks like a pretty good deal, zain asher thanks so much. >> for more we want to bring in someone who has had a chance to play around with it. >> mark is the editor-in-chief of laptopmag.com and joins us from new york. >> good morning. >> you've had the phone, been able to fool around with it a little bit. what do you think? >> i think there's a lot of wow! features inside this zone as you showed. it's not so much about specs anymore and the size of the screen. i think it's about what your phone can do and what it will spell someone to buy your phone versus someone else's and it comes down to some of the new features. >> is it true the big thing people are talking about is the ability to use your eyes to control the screen? does that work? >> yeah, it does. it works in a couple of ways. so one thing that you mentioned
6:18 am
is the scrolling, so if you're looking at a piece of content it follows your eyes and you tilt the device in your hand so you can look up and down at a web article without touching the screen. if you're watching a video and look away and come back it pauses when you look away and automatically resumes when your eyes go back to the screen. >> wow, kind of spooky, isn't it? what is your favorite thing about the galaxy s4 so far? >> there's two things, one is the gesture support, you can use it for going back and forth through pictures but for me if i'm doing the dishes at home and don't want to tush the screen with my wet hands i can fast forward through tracks by going like this in front of the kament rah and works in the car so if a call is coming through you wave your hand and automatically goes into speakerphone mode so you can keep your eyes on the road. >> next thing that will happen it will read your mind. >> surely eye identification, you know, like you see in the movies. >> if your friends is looking at
6:19 am
your phone, all right, mark, you have complaints about the phone as well. tell us about those. >> there's a couple of things. even though the design is thin and light, it does have a plastic built quality and iphone fans are used to the glass and aluminum but they are keeping the weight down. you want a big screen and thin, light body you have to put up with the plastic design. there are so many features inside this phone it should come with a glossary but it will make our jobs easier. on day one we'll have all sorts of how to videos. >> bottom line question now, you've seen this thing, you see how it works, iphone for those of you the gold standard, is it better than an iphone? >> in terms of features, i think right now samsung is in the lead and i think it is that wow! factor that's going to cause a lot more people to jump ship. >> so the last question here, you had to give the tester phone back to samsung but mark, would you buy another one? would you buy one? >> i think so. i want to spend more time with.
6:20 am
i'm especially concerned about battery life. you want to make sure it will last all day on a charge. once we put it through our test i'll decide for sure. i love the iphone5 but i think the s4 is one to watch for 2013. >> mark wants a second date with the phone. >> clearly he does. battery life, though, is the battery life really good on the iphone 5? >> it depends how you use it but there's been a lot of people who complain about it. what i like about the iphone 5 there's a ton of accessories like the movie pack like a case that doubles as a battery. what i like about the s4 unlike the iphone the back is removable so you can carry around an extra battery with you so i think that's important. >> i heard you can also delete people from certain photos, so no more photo bombing, because you can tap it and -- >> done, you're fired. >> i like that aspect, right, mark? >> it is cool. the eraser feature you have to engage it before you take the picture so you can't do it after
6:21 am
the fact and it only works for moving objects so if someone walks through your photo you can get rid of them but someone standing in there like an in-law you don't like you can't erase that. >> mother-in-law gone. mark spoonauer, thank you so much. 600-year-old tiny discovery, why scientists say it proves there was trade between china and eastern africa many years earlier than thought. ♪
